Literacy Task

Pippety loves collecting things in his pocket that he can use to cause mischief with. Can you remember what he used to help him trick the troll and the toad? You may need to reread the story to remind yourself.

What else do you think Pippety might have in his pocket? Make a list of your ideas on this sheet and don’t worry, you can be as creative as you like!

Here are a few of my ideas:

An old whoopee cushion
Six wriggling worms
The curly tip of a rat’s whisker.

NOTE: Keep your ideas safe as you will need them later on in the week.

Maths Activities

The games below help children to develop early calculation strategies. The games are also simple and enjoyable to play!

Sum Turnover

For this game you will need some cards numbered 4 to 9. Take turns to roll two dice and add the two numbers together. If you have a card that matches the total of the dice you can turn the card over. The aim of the game is to be the first one to turn over all of your cards.

To make this game simpler or trickier adjust the number of cards each player has.

Connect 4

This game is played in pairs. Take turns to roll two dice. Find the sum of the numbers on the dice and cross off the total on the grid. The winner is the first person to connect 4 boxes. This game can be adapted to practice subtraction too. Simply roll the two dice and find the difference between the two numbers.

Please find the grids for both games below.

Sum-Connect-4 grid

Difference-Connect-4 grid

NOTE: The grids are different depending on whether you are adding or subtracting.
